The TRIADS Laboratory encourages participation in research as a way of teaching students about critical thinking in general and the scientific method in particular. Many undergraduate and graduate students become involved in research under the supervision of Dr. Bonds-Raacke or Dr. Raacke.  This research environment provides the professors with another arena outside of the classroom in which they can view a student's abilities.  These opportunities often lead to presentations, publications, and stronger letters of recommendation for the students.  You will find two links below.  The first provides information about current projects being conducted in the laboratory in which students have made contributions, while the other discusses the past research that has been conducted.

Current Projects

The TRIADS Laboratory is currently engaged in a number of projects both off and on campus. Although most of these projects are currently underway, ideas and extensions are being investigated for upcoming semesters.

Past Work

The TRIADS Laboratory has engaged in a number of projects that have led to both conference presentations and peer reviewed publications. Here, you will find a list of those presentations and publications as well as downloadable files for research use.
